TED GILMORE
Ted Gilmore is in his second
season on the Colorado staff, as
he was hired as wide receivers
coach on February 20, 2003.
His first year on the CU sidelines
was a productive one, as he
coached one of the top single-season
receiving duos in Colorado
history when seniors D.J. Hackett
and Derek McCoy combined for
141 receptions, 1,896 yards and
18 touchdowns.
Gilmore, 37, joined the CU staff
after serving two years as the
receivers coach at Purdue
University. He has roots in the
Rocky Mountain area, as he graduated
up the road from the University of Wyoming.
After transferring to Wyoming from Butler Community College
(Eldorado, Kan.), he lettered at receiver for the Cowboys in 1988
and 1989. He caught 40 passes for a team-high 594 yards and three
touchdowns as a junior, and snared 32 receptions for 445 yards
and two scores as a senior, when he earned second-team all-
Western Athletic Conference honors. He played in one bowl game,
a Wyoming loss to Oklahoma State in the Holiday Bowl his junior
year. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Wyoming in sociology
in 1991.

Wide Receivers
He began his coaching career at his alma mater, working as a
graduate assistant with both receivers and tight ends for three
seasons (1994-96) under Wyoming’s then-head coach, Joe Tiller.
He was then hired as the full-time receivers coach by the
Cowboys for the 1997 and 1998 seasons. He moved on to Kansas
for the 1999 season where he coached the tight ends, and then to
Houston as its receiver coach for the 2000 season, where he
coached the Cougars’ all-time receptions leader, Orlando
Inglesias. He then rejoined Tiller on the Purdue staff in the spring
of 2001.
At Purdue, he coached perhaps the top receiver duo in the
league in 2002, sophomore Taylor Stubblefield and junior John
Standeford. The pair combined for 152 receptions for 2,096 yards;
Stubblefield was seventh in the NCAA in receptions per game (77
in 10 games), while Standeford caught 75 passes for 1,307 yards
and 13 touchdowns, ranking 11th in the nation in yards and tying
for third in TD receptions. Purdue was one of the top offensive
teams in the nation in 2002, averaging 452.2 yards per game (seventh
in the NCAA), including 255.7 yards passing.
He was born March 21, 1967 in Wichita, Kan., and graduated
from Wichita South High School, where he lettered in football,
basketball and track. He is married to the former Jennifer Schey,
and the couple has two small children, daughter Taylor (4) and
son T.J. (1). Jennifer, a Longmont native, is the daughter of Dave
Schey, one of the top amateur golfers in Colorado history.
